Bah! Humbug! Now that's too strong |
'Cause it is my favorite holiday |
But all this year's been a busy blur |
Don't think I have the energy |
To add to my already mad rush |
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season |
The perfect gift for me would be |
Completions and connections left from last year |
Ski shop encounter, most interesting |
Had his number but never the time |
Most of '81 passed along those lines |
So deck those halls |
Trim those trees |
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer |
I just need to catch my breath |
Christmas by myself this year |
Calendar picture, frozen landscape |
Chill this room for 24 days |
Evergreens, sparkling snow |
Get this winter over with! |
Flashback to springtime, saw him again |
Would have been good to go for lunch |
Couldn't agree when we were both free |
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch |
Didn't of course, 'til summertime |
Out to the beach, to his boat, could I join him? |
No, this time it was me |
Sunburn in the third degree |
Now the calendar's just one page |
Of course I am excited |
Tonight's the night I've set my mind |
Not to do too much about it |
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas |
But I think I'll miss this one this year |
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas |
But I think I'll miss this one this year |
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas |
But I think I'll miss this one this year |
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas |
But I think I'll miss this one this year |
Hardly dashing through the snow |
'Cause I bundled up too tight |
Last minute have-to-dos |
A few cards, a few calls because it's |
RSVP |
No, thanks, no party lights |
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax |
Turned down all of my invites |
Last Fall I had a night to myself |
Same guy called, Halloween party |
Waited all night for him to show |
This time his car wouldn't go |
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late |
Trudge on home to celebrate |
In a quiet way, unwind |
Doing Christmas right this time |
A&P has provided me |
With the world's smallest turkey |
Already in the oven, nice and hot |
Oh damn! |
Guess what I forgot |
Back out in the snow |
To the only all night grocery |
Here on the line is that guy I've been chasing all year |
"Spendin' this one alone" he said |
"Need a break, this year's been crazy" |
I said, "Me too, but why are you...? |
You mean you forgot cranberries too?" |
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed |
Caught on to what was happening |
That Christmas magic's brought this tale |
To a very happy ending |
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas |
Couldn't miss this one this year |
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas |
Couldn't miss this one this year |
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas |
Couldn't miss this one this year |
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas |
Couldn't miss this one this year |
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas |
Couldn't miss this one this year |
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas |
Couldn't miss this one this year |
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas |
